Musk is a Russian asset trying to start a civil war in the US and WW3. And I have sources.

And we have to ask ourselves WHY he’d want to spread misinformation. What is he trying to do?

A stable, sustainable, peaceful world

I know people who work at major corporations who said they were down for a bit, it’s pretty huge.

Actually, it may have helped slow climate change a little

It’s actually not a shame you can go to court over that. That’s actually excellent we still have that right intact.

What if I didn’t turn on my office lights, so now I can’t read any written materials. I decline the use of technology like lights to help me with this. Now we don’t have to fill requests for written materials.

I threw away all speakers and headphones. Any audio cannot be processed because we lack the technology and we do not have to get more.

See how stupid this is???

Insane. This is a violation of our rights.

Blatant nazi stuff, mod infiltration, creepy mod rules for NSFW subs

Then why don’t you edit your post to make your meaning clearer? Because if everyone is misunderstanding, then it’s probably not all our fault.

“Just covering his ass” this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that’s okay

These millionaires want all the power but refuse accountability. Why give him an out?

Coward

We had recruiters come to my school at least once a year to give talks if not more often, so ymmv

Yes, unfortunately that’s not a priority in the US. You know what is though? Making sure we are automatically enrolled in the draft, and that we take our ASVAB (military test) in high school. And of course, every high schooler knows how to enlist in the military and all the amazing benefits they could get.

There is something called student government but it doesn’t actually mimic what happens in each kid’s district. They do not make up parties. They mainly just vote for class president, secretary, and treasurer with a show of hands. Sometimes a ballot. That’s it.

They do not do any of the rest here. I’m being VERY sincere when I emphatically say most states do NOT teach the public ANYTHING that will give them legal or political power including how to vote. And some states make it very hard to vote.

Because we don’t teach people ANYTHING about the political or legal system here (and legal matters a lot, since it’s intrinsically tied to how we make and enforce laws here).

For instance, just figuring out where to vote, when to vote, and what you need to bring (and legally can’t bring), varies WILDLY state to state. Real examples:

I lived in state A, where the primaries were just done with a ballot, you physically had to show up at a specific day and time to fill put in person

Moved to state B, where the primaries were at a different time and were done as a caucus. Meaning I had to physically go and stand there as my body was my vote. They were unprepared for voter turnout and it took 6 hours to vote. There were almost no chairs. Handicapped people, elderly people, and people who had to work, left. Like they just couldn’t vote. It was horrible to witness. That’s our rights being denied.

And also at state B, you had to be registered in advance and they needed to have record of it. If there was some weird error where you weren’t on the list, tough.

Moved to state C, where everything is super easy and done by mail. Just mail in your ballot. No big.

We need to take kids on field trips to vote and teach them actually how to do it all. Including looking up smaller election dates. It’s not actually that easy or that streamlined.

We need to take kids to town halls to show them how to observe public meetings. We need to show them how to run for office. The public deserves a clear and thorough education on this, as much as English or Math.

I think that free speech is okay, IF it’s consensual and if each person is represented by themselves. I do not think bots and duplicate accounts are free speech. I do not think spamming messages and overwhelming media is free speech.

Imo if I dislike what people are saying, then it’s up to me to look at things systemically rather than personally. Fascism seems to be akin to a societal response to external threats, almost like a scab forming. Which is why so many leftists do indeed turn to fascist methods to fight fascists - wasps swarming their hive.

If we reduced external threats, maybe modeled non-threatening behaviors, it could help every day. The Black Panthers, for instance, used to feed people (reducing the external threat of starvation). Remember how friendly everyone used to be? I try to bring some of that back by complimenting people, asking about their day. It may seem minor, but that’s what communities are built on. And modeling prosocial behavior is, at its core, antifascist.

What happened in 2016 was so clear, along with Jan 6th. It is quite disturbing how many people still support him - I went on vacation to Newport.Beach recently, near LA, and there were multiple businesses there and on Balboa Beach openly supporting Trump. I saw Trump merch everywhere including hats. It was honestly insane to see something like that within 30 miles of a major city. These are people with money and access to education (not that they use it…). These are some of the people who literally own most of the American economy (California is the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world by itself). And they don’t want to acknowledge climate change or that fascism is bad. It’s bad here.

Reducing freedom of speech wouldn’t change how bad things are here.

And please give your fellow Americans some grace. Yes, it’s wild they can’t see what’s going on, but it’s kinda obvious someone took the CIA’s classic plan for destabilizing a country and uno reversed it onto us, right? Like the obvious attacks on education, business, medicine, etc, this isn’t happening on accident. There are countries paying billions for your mom and my dad and everyone’s grandparents to be hypnotized into self sabotaging.

Wars aren’t always fought with guns

I have a friend who got a brand new EV6 and LOVES IT. He’s the absolute last person I’d expect to love Kias, his previous car was a Lexus SUV. And he loves everything about his EV6 and would buy it again ig. So yeah, the company does seem to be different these days

Are we all pretending that the investment in Tesla was organic and for the company?

You guys have seen the man with creepy world leaders. Multiple countries investing in and pumping Tesla stock to get favors from Elon is PRETTY BLATANTLY what’s going on.
